An ARCA is defined in the FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety." The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs).This System is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among FEMA Region, and site-specific exercise reports within each Region.

2.a.1.ISSUE NO.: 03-06-2a1-P-02  
Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.
-ISSUE: The exposure control system in place for West Virginia is confusing 32 a and inconsistent and does not list exposure limits in the proper units. There is also no information concerning the limits for declared pregnant Workers.While the present system does give the reporting succession for worker exposures, it does not explicitly name who may authorize exposures above the established limits.The guidelines are visually confusing:
Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.
there is a table of "exceptions" that appears, at first glance, to list the exposure limits. The statement above the table "the PAG for all Emergency Workers (EWs) is 5 Rem, except for the following:" is easily overlooked.
30
The instructions about which EWs are allowed up to 25 Rem while inside the plume exposure EPZ is unclear (specific job functions would, be helpful).
 
There is no information concerning limits for declared pregnant workers.The limits are listed in "Rem" without any indication on how this value is determined.
4.2.1. State Jurisdictions 4.2.1.1. Beaver Valley Joint Public Information Center
The direct-reading dosimeters (DRDs) have units of R (exposure), not Rem (dose). The limits given are the normal dose limits (total effective dose equivalent (TEDE), which is the sum of the effective dose:equiivalent (EDE) fr6m external e*p6sure anid the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from inhalation of contaminated air). DRDs can only measure the EDE portion of the TEDE. Initially, West Virginia personnel assume that there is no dose from inhalation of contaminated air (i.e., there are only noble gases in the release, no radioiodines and no particulates).
: a. MET: 5.b.1.
If Beaver Valley Power Station dose-assessment personnel provide information about the EDE/TEDE ratio being something other than 1,-thena new limit based on this ratio is calculated (this calculation is not proceduralized).
: b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: None
For releases that have a significant non-noble gas component over a short'duration, this method' could result in an actual dose higher than the 5 Rem dose limit before the new limit'could be determined.

ISSUE NO.: 03-06-2a1-P-02       -
ISSUE: The exposure control system in place for West Virginia is confusing 32 a
 
and inconsistent and does not list exposure limits in the proper units. There is also no information concerning the limits for declared pregnant Workers.
While the present system does give the reporting succession for worker exposures, it does not explicitly name who may authorize exposures above the established limits.
The guidelines are visually confusing: there is a table of "exceptions" that appears, at first glance, to list the exposure limits. The statement above the table "the PAG for all Emergency Workers (EWs) is 5 Rem, except for the following:" is easily overlooked. The instructions about which EWs are allowed up to 25 Rem while inside the plume exposure EPZ is unclear (specific job functions would, be helpful). There is no information concerning limits for declared pregnant workers.
The limits are listed in "Rem" without any indication on how this value is determined. The direct-reading dosimeters (DRDs) have units of R (exposure), not Rem (dose). The limits given are the normal dose limits (total effective dose equivalent (TEDE), which is the sum of the effective dose
:equiivalent (EDE) fr6m external e*p6sure anid the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from inhalation of contaminated air). DRDs can only measure the EDE portion of the TEDE. Initially, West Virginia personnel assume that there is no dose from inhalation of contaminated air (i.e., there are only noble gases in the release, no radioiodines and no particulates). If Beaver Valley Power Station dose-assessment personnel provide information about the EDE/TEDE ratio being something other than 1,-thena new limit based on this ratio is calculated (this calculation is not proceduralized). For releases that have a significant non-noble gas component over a short' duration, this method' could result in an actual dose higher than the 5 Rem dose limit before the new limit'could be determined.
REASON UNRESOLVED: The State of West Virginia Emergency Response Plan, Annex 15, dated April 2008, contained pre-authorized exposure (turn-back) levels for various categories of EWs, whichare one half of the dose limits for each category listed in a chart on page 15-19. The turn - back levels were stated in rems rather than Roentgens as they should be to properly reflect units recorded by Direct Reading Dosimeters (DRD). The dose limits contained in the Chart did not reflect the most recent recommended PAGS for emergencyworkers contained in USEPA Guidance in that they exceed 5 33
 
rem for 2 categories of EW who are not specifically tasked with life saving duties or the protection of valuable property.

The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public. Therefore, if, by not following the plan, the responders protect the public equally as well as provided in the plan, it should be noted f6r possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident.
: b. Support counties may likewise request approval to terminate the exercise upon completion of all evaluated objectives from the state EOC.
Furthermore, if, by following the 72 6 plan there is a failure to protect the public health and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can be modified and the appropriate negative assessment applied.13.

1. Executive Summary On June 24, 2008, a full-scale plume exercise was conducted in the 10-mile plume exposure pathway, emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) by the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region Ill/National Preparedness Division/Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (DHS/FEMARIII/NPD/REPP), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Out-of-sequence demonstrations were conducted on May 14, 2008. The purpose of the exercise and the out-of-sequence demonstrations was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. The exercise and out-of-sequence demonstrations were held in accordance with DHS/FEMARIII/NPD/REPP policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures.

The most recent prior full-scale exercise at this site was conducted on June 26 - 30, 2006.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, its one risk county (Beaver), its twenty seven risk jurisdictions (City of Aliquippa, Beaver Borough, Bridgewater Borough, Brighton Township, Center Township, Chippewa Township, Fallston Borough, Frankfort Springs Borough, Georgetown Borough, Glasgow Borough, Greene Township, Hanover Township, Hookstown Borough, Hopewell Township, Independence Township, Industry Borough, Midland Borough, Monaca Borough, Ohioville Borough, Patterson Township, Patterson Heights Borough, Potter Township, Raccoon Township, Shippingport Borough, South Beaver Township, South Heights Borough, and Vanport Township), and its four support counties (Allegheny, Butler, Lawrence, and Washington), as well as the State of West Virginia and its one risk county (Hancock), who were evaluated at this exercise.

Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants were evident during this exercise.

2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. FEMA's activities were conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351 and 352. These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979. In October 2005, the.

REP Program was moved to the Department of Homeland Security/Office of, Infrastructure Protection/Chemical & Nuclear Preparedness and Protection..

Division/Radiological Emergency Preparedness (DHS/OIP/CNPPD/,REP). In.March of 2007 legistlation was passed that transferred the REP Program back to FEMA.

Modification of the 44 CFR series .is underway to reflect the new .organizational str~ucture of the REP Program. Radiological Emergency Preparedness is now, a branch of the Preparedness Division. At FEMA Region Ill, the Radiological Emerency Preparedness Program is part of the Technological Hazalrds5.Branch. -

44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMA's initial and continued approval of Tribal, State, and local governments'":radiological emergency plannirg,,and, preparedness for-commercial nuclear power plants.. This, approval is contingent; in part,,

on Tribal, State and local government participation in joint exercises, with licensees.

REP's responsibilities in radiolog~ical emergency planningjfor fixed .nuclear facilities, include the following: _

Taking the lead in offsite emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of Radiological Emergency lResponse Plans (RERPs) and. procedures developed by Tribal, State and local governments; Determining whether such plans and procedures can be-implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted, by Tribal, State and local governments; Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993; and 4

a

3. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the June 24, 2008 exercise to test the off-site emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS). This section of the exercise report includes a description of the plume pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ), a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities that were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

3.1. EPZ Description-BVPS is located in'western Pennsylvania on the southern bank of the Ohio River in Beaver County,ý Pennsylvania."Thesite is located near Shippingport Borough, about 1 mile from Midland Pennsylvani, obn 501 acres of fairIy level terrace owned by the FirstEnergy Nuclear OperatingCobmpahy. The latitude for the site is40-37'18' north; the longitude is 8 0-2 6 '02" west. Two pressurized water reactors are located on the 17 acres of the parcel ocCupied by the power station. The operating licenses for the facility were granted in July 1976 (Unit 1) and August 1987 (Unit 2); commercial operations began at the site during October' 1976 (Unit 1) and November 1987 (Unit 2). Unit 1 generates an output of 810 megawatts (MW); the Unit 2 output is 833 MW. One hundred and ten sirens cover the plume EPZ; 85 of the sirens are in Pennsylvania.

Steep slopes that cohtrib.uted to the6developm6nt of river mill towns, where most of the industry and residences are located, characterize the general topography of the region.

The region is part of the large industrial complex centered around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The terrain rises from the Ohio River to a maximum elevation of 1,160 feet above mean sea level (MSL). Drainage is predominantly toward the river.

The soils in the area are made up of alluvial sands and gravel. The bedrock geology consists of sedimentary formations composed of shale and sandstone. No faults are located under or near the facility. The Ohio River is about 664 feet above MSL, and the plant grade is 735 feet above MSL.

The climate is a humid continental type. The average annual temperature for the area is about 50 2F. Annual precipitation is approximately 36 inches.

0 The area around the plant is mostly agricultural or undeveloped. The nearest community is Shippingport Borough, Pennsylvania, which is the parent borough for the site and has a population of 237. The nearest major population center of more than 25,000 people is Pittsburgh, which has a population of 334,563 and lies 22 miles to the southeast. The maximum population distribution, including residents: and transients, is 94,023 in the 10-mile EPZ.

Four major industries employ a total of 8,000 persons within 10 miles of the plant. Two small airfields (Beaver County and Herron Airport) are also in the 10 mile EPZ..

4.2. Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated B. Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating and functional entity in a jurisdiction-based, issues-only format. Presented below are definitions of the terms used in this subsection relative to criteria demonstration status.

Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise evaluation area criteria under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.

Deficiency,- Listing of the demonstrated exercise evaluation area criteria under which one or more Deficiencies Were Assessed during this exercise. Included, is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.

Area Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise evaluation area criteria under which one or more ARCAs were assessed during the cUrrent exercise.

Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this, exercise, and the recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during-the next biennial exercise.

Not Demonstrated - Listing ofthe exercise evaluation area criteria that were scheduled to be demonstrated during this exercise, but were not demonstrated andthe reason they were not demonstrated. .

Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous. exercises that were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.

Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises that were not resolved in this exercise. Included are the reasons the ARCAs remain unresolved and:recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.

The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues that are discussed in this report.

A Deficiency is defined in the FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy 29

0 of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant."

An ARCA is defined in the FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety."

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs).This System is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among FEMA Region, and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.

The identifying number for Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following"elements,l with each element separated by a hyphen (-).

Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number corresponding to the Utility Billable'Plant Site Codes. "

Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year.the exercise was conducted.

Evaluation Area Criterion - A letter and number corresponding to the criteria in the FEMA REP'Exercise Evaluation Methodology.

Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.

Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

ISSUE NO.: 03-06-2a1-P-02 -

ISSUE: The exposure control system in place for West Virginia is confusing 32 a

and inconsistent and does not list exposure limits in the proper units. There is also no information concerning the limits for declared pregnant Workers.

While the present system does give the reporting succession for worker exposures, it does not explicitly name who may authorize exposures above the established limits.

The guidelines are visually confusing: there is a table of "exceptions" that appears, at first glance, to list the exposure limits. The statement above the table "the PAG for all Emergency Workers (EWs) is 5 Rem, except for the following:" is easily overlooked. The instructions about which EWs are allowed up to 25 Rem while inside the plume exposure EPZ is unclear (specific job functions would, be helpful). There is no information concerning limits for declared pregnant workers.

The limits are listed in "Rem" without any indication on how this value is determined. The direct-reading dosimeters (DRDs) have units of R (exposure), not Rem (dose). The limits given are the normal dose limits (total effective dose equivalent (TEDE), which is the sum of the effective dose

equiivalent (EDE) fr6m external e*p6sure anid the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from inhalation of contaminated air). DRDs can only measure the EDE portion of the TEDE. Initially, West Virginia personnel assume that there is no dose from inhalation of contaminated air (i.e., there are only noble gases in the release, no radioiodines and no particulates). If Beaver Valley Power Station dose-assessment personnel provide information about the EDE/TEDE ratio being something other than 1,-thena new limit based on this ratio is calculated (this calculation is not proceduralized). For releases that have a significant non-noble gas component over a short' duration, this method' could result in an actual dose higher than the 5 Rem dose limit before the new limit'could be determined.

REASON UNRESOLVED: The State of West Virginia Emergency Response Plan, Annex 15, dated April 2008, contained pre-authorized exposure (turn-back) levels for various categories of EWs, whichare one half of the dose limits for each category listed in a chart on page 15-19. The turn - back levels were stated in rems rather than Roentgens as they should be to properly reflect units recorded by Direct Reading Dosimeters (DRD). The dose limits contained in the Chart did not reflect the most recent recommended PAGS for emergencyworkers contained in USEPA Guidance in that they exceed 5 33

rem for 2 categories of EW who are not specifically tasked with life saving duties or the protection of valuable property.

e. PRIOR ISSUES - RESOLVED: 4.a.3.

ISSUE NO.: 03-06-4a3-P-04.....

ISSUE: The West Virginia Field Monitoring Team Procedure details the collection, counting analysis, and reporting of air samples, however some information is missing and some actions should more properly be ,performed either at the Hancock ,County. Emergency Operation Center (HCEOC) or the West Virginia State Operations.Center,(WVSEOC).

The procedure does not include taking ambient radiation surveys during air sample collection.

The procedure does require that the Field Monitoring"Team (F4M-T)'collect the sample, move to a background area, purge the sample, count the cartridge and filter separately calculating the air concentration and then reporting the count rate and concentration data to the response Team Leadedr'(RTL) at the' HCEOC. The RTL then communicates thiis to the WVSEOC.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: During the time that the air sample was being drawn, the ambient radiological conditions in the area were being continuously monitored.:When'asked, the Field Team member correctly stated that this was to determine any changes in the ambient radiological conditions that may affect the airsample."However, contrary to the state response above, the procedure has not been revised to reflect this action. The affected procedure is the "West Virginia Field Monitoring Team 34 40

Standard Operating Procedure", dated June, 2008.

West Virginia OES provided the updated West Virginia Field Monitoring Team Standard Operating Procedures" Revision 6-B, dated September 2008, which contains instructions to conduct continuous ambient radiological surveying for safety.

f. PRIOR ISSUES - UNRESOLVED: 4.a.2.

ISSUE NO.: 03-06-4a2-P-05 ISSUE: The Response Team Leader (RTL) for WV at the Hancock County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) did not comm'jnicate wind direction/speed or release time.

- REASON UNRESOLVED: Data provided to the Hancock County Emergency Operations Center was th'rough, Controller inject, as this was an out of sequence'exercise outlined'in the Extent of Play agreement. However, since this was an out of seqbuence event, implementation of the recommendations above could not be completely demonstrated.

Appendix 3.B.2.c)

CONDITION: The route alerting team did not run the route in the sector in which the siren failed to sound.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Supervisory personnel in both the' EOC and in the Fire House where route alerting teams were staged, Were apparently so focused on demonstrating supplemental routes, they were inattentive when Beaver County reported that Siren 36 had failed and the Sector 2 routes should be run.

ISSUE NO.: 03-06-3bl-P-O1 ISSUE: At 1959, emergency workers at the Center Township Emergency Operations Center (CTEOC) were directed by the Beaver County EOC through PMARS radio to take potassium, iodide (KI). All personnel in the EOC were aware of this Precautionary Protective Action, but only the' Radiological Service Officer and his Deputy recorded an entry in their "EPP EVENT LOG." Thus, there is no record that Police Officers in the field at TCP/ACP locations, or Fire/Rescue personnel. in the field, providing route alerting and evacuation assistance were directed to ingest their provided KI.

39

a CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Center Township Emergency Operations Center sucessfully demonstrated this criterion during the 24 June 08 Plume Exercise. Beaver County and it's constituant jurisdiction emergency operations centers employ a web-based communications system

("Knowledge Center") to relay directions, request resources, and confirm information. The log of the Center Township EOC indicates that at the General Emergency the EOC notified field personnel that the consumption of Potassium Iodide was directed.

Appendix 3.B.2.c) 40 a

CONDITION: 45 minute timeframe allowed for back up route alerting caused by a failed siren was not met.

  • POSSIBLE CAUSE: There was a misunderstanding between the EOC fire personnel and the fire personnel located at the fire station as to who would dispatch staff to perform the route alert function.

REFERENCE:

(NUREG-0654, J.10.h., K.5.b)

CONDITION: On Wednesday,- May 14, 2008 at 1900, a South Beaver Fire Department (SBFD) emergency worker (EW), while performing the operational check of a Ludlum Model 2241-3 survey meter procedure, failed

'to clear the alarm'duringthe source check.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: "Inadequate'training in radiological monitoring equipment checks.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, K.5.a.

South Beaver Fire Department Radiological Emergency Worker Decontamination Station Procedure, Attachment'3 (Radiological Monitoring Equipment Check), secti0on: IV'.B. 10) (page 18)

EFFECT: If the audible alarm is not reset following operational check of the survey meter, it is possible that the monitor may not note visually if an area being surveyed equals or exceeds 300 counts per minute which indicates contamination.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The operational check was stopped and the EW was retrained on the procedure. The training was completed at 1910. At 1912, the survey meter was successfully operationally checked. No further action is required.

CONDITION: On Wednesday, May 14, 2008, at 1930, the South Beaver Fire Department (SBFD) monitor performingla thyroid survey of an emergency worker (EW) using a Ludlum Model 2241-3 survey meter failed to change from the Ludlum Model 44-9-probe to the Ludlum Model 44-2probe and performed the survey using the window side of the Ludlum Model 44n-9 probe.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Inadequate training in radiological surveying procedures.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, K.5.a.

South Beaver Fire Department Radiological Emergency Worker Decontamination Station Procedure, Attachment 4 (Surveying and Decontamination Procedures), Sectin ,V.B'.

EFFECT: By using the Ludlum Model 44-9 probe; the readingmay be higher than the correct value due to the lack of probe shielding": This could-result in a reading greater than 0.1 mR/hr above background andwould necessitate referring the individual to a medical- facility for further evaluation.' With the proper probe (Ludlum Model 44-2)ý such an evaltuation maynrot be necessary.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Between Wednesday, May 14, 2008 and Monday June 23, 2008, the piocedure for thyroid s6rvey was revised and the EWs were retrained. On Monday, June 23, 2008, between 1852 and 1902, the procedure was successfully redemonstrated. No further action is required.

Plume PhaseExercise (June 24, 2008): Federal evaluators will be present at the identified risk and support county.EOC's to evaluate playerresponse to the actual and simulated events in the, exercise scenario. ...

10. Demonstration.Windows ,

In order to provide for more effective demonstrations, as well as to permit the release of volunteers from exercise play at a reasonable hour, periods of time (Demonstration Windows) have been designated during which specified actions will be accomplished /

demonstrated. , , .

The "demonstration windows" for this exercise are:

A. Plume Phase Exercise The out-of-sequence MS- 1 hospital demonstration was federally evaluated at Ellwood City Hospital, Lawrence County, December 12, 2007.

The out-of-sequence exercise window for school demonstrations will be from 9:00 until 11:00 on May 14, 2008.

71

0 The out-of-sequence demonstration of reception centers, mass care centers, monitoring / decontamination centers and emergency worker stations will be conducted from 7:00 - 9:30 p.m. on May 14, 2008. Locations are specified within Attachment A,Section II.

The out-of-sequence interview of Pennsylvania State Police traffic control/access control points will be from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. June 24, 2008.

All demonstrations will commence promptly and, barring any complications, not continue beyond the time of the designated demonstration window.

County and municipal EOC operations will be conducted on June 24, 2008. (Please refer to the Extent of Play Demonstration Tables, Attachment A).

B. Post Plume Exercise No post-plume phase exercise is scheduled during this evaluation.

11. Stand-down All jurisdictions will request approval on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis prior to stand-down.
a. Upon completion of all requirements and after having informed the FEMA evaluator that all evaluation areas have been demonstrated and/or completed, the risk municipality EOCs may request approval from their county EOC to terminate the exercise.
b. Support counties may likewise request approval to terminate the exercise upon completion of all evaluated objectives from the state EOC.
c. The risk county EOC will remain operational until the exercise is officially terminated by the State. The State EOC will issue an Exercise Termination Message.
12. General Concepts An emergency plan is drafted to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency, Not everything in the emergency plan may be applicable for a given scenario. The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public. Therefore, if, by not following the plan, the responders protect the public equally as well as provided in the plan, it should be noted f6r possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident. Furthermore, if, by following the 72 6

plan there is a failure to protect the public health and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can be modified and the appropriate negative assessment applied.

13. Re-demonstrations During the exercise any activity that is not satisfactorily demonstrated may be re-demonstrated by the participants during the exercise provided it does not negatively interfere with the exercise. Refresher training can be provided by the players, observers, and/or controllers. Evaluators are not permitted to provide refresher training. Re-demonstrations will be negotiated between the players, observers, controllers, and evaluat6rs. The RAC Chair/designee will be advised prior to initiating anyre-demonstrations. It is permissible to extend the evaluation time to accommodate the re-demonstration. Activities corrected from a re-demonstration will be so noted.

6 EVALUATION AREA 2 Protective Action Decision-Making Sub-element 2.a - Emergency Worker Exposure Control INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to assess and6cdntrol the radiation exposure received by emergency workers and have a decision chain in place, as specified in the ORO's plans and procedures, to authorize emergency worker exposure limits to be exceeded for specific missions.

Radiation exposure limits for emergenc y wotkers'are the iecommen&d 'accumul'ted .dose limits or exposure rates emergency workelrs may-bep~itfed to, inurdduring an'emergency.

These limits include any pre-established administrative&rep6rtingI limits (that take into' consideration Total Effective Dose Equivalent or organ-specific' limits) identified in the ORO's plans and procedures. - ""

Criterion 2.a.1: OROS use a 'decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordiniation' to ensure'that an exposure contro1 system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides. (NUREG-0654,K.4,J.10.e,f) ,

", " ~~~~~~~.......... ..... ' - *. i.' - *....I EXTENT OF PLAY OROs authorized to send emergency workers into the plume exposure pathway EPZ should demonstrate a capability to meet the criterion based on their emergenc*,plans 'and procedures.

Responsible OROs should demonstrate the capability to make decisions, concerning the authorization of exposure levels in excess of pre-authorized levels and.to the number of emergency workers receiving radiation dose above, pre-authorized levels.

As appropriate, OROs should demonstratethe capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI as a protective' measure, based on the ORO's plan and/or procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established Protective Action Guides (PAGs) for KI administration.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent of Play: None.

Sub-element 2.b. - Radiological Assessment and Protective Action Recommendations and Decisions for the.Plume Phase of the Emergency INTENT-This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the rapability toN Ue all available data to independently, project integrated dose and compare the estimated dose Savings with the protective action guides.

OROs have the, capability t0ochoose, among a. range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency situation. OROsbase these choices oh PAGs from the ORO's plans and procedures or EPA 400-R-92-001 and other criteria, such as, plant conditions, licensee protective action recommendations, coordination of protective action decisions with other political jurisdictions.(for example, other affected OROs), availability of appropriate in-pjace shelter, weather conditions, and situations that .create higher than normal risk from evacuation.

Criterion 2.b.f: Appropriate 'protective action recommendations are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and ORO dose projections, as well as knowledge of onsite and offsite environmental conditions. (NUREG-0654, 1.8, 10 and Supplement 3)

EXTENT OF PLAY During the initial stage of the emergency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant offsite protective actions, the ORO should demonstrate the capability to use appropriate means, described in the plan and/or procedures, to develop protective action recommendations' (PARs) for decision-makers based on available information and recommendations from the licensee and field monitoring data, if available.

When the licensee provides release and meteorological data, the ORO also considers these data.

The ORO should demonstrate a reliable capability to independently validate dose projections.

The types of calculations to be demonstrated depend on the data available and the need for assessments to support the PARs appropriate to the scenario. In all cases, calculation of projected dose should be demonstrated. Projected doses should be related to quantities and units 81

0 of the PAGs to which they will be compared. PARs should be promptly transmitted to decision-makers in a prearranged format.

Differences greater than a factor of 10 between projected doses by the licensee and the ORO should be discussed with the licensee with respect to the input data and assumptions used, the use of differentmodels, or other possible reasons. Resolution of these differences should be incorporated into the PAR if timely and appropriate. The ORO should demonstrate the capability to useany additional data to refine projected doses and exposure rates and revise the associated PARs.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless n6ted above or otherwise indicated in the'extent 'ofplay agreement.

PEMA NegotiatedExtent of Play: None.

Criterion 2.b.2: A decision-making process involvinig consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions ,

(PAD) for the general public (including the recommendation for the use, ofUKI, if ORO policy). (NUREG-0654, J.9, I0.f,m),

EXTENT OF PLAY OROs should have the capability to make both initial and subsequent PADs. They should demonstrate the capability to make initial- PADs in,a timely manner appropriate ,to the situation, based on notification from the licensee;!assessmfent of plant status, and releases, and PARs from the utility and ORO staff.

The dose assessment personnel may provide additional PARs based on the subsequent dose projections, field monitoring data, or information on plant conditions. The decision-makers should demonstrate the capability to change protective actions as appropriate based on these projections.

If the ORO has determined that KI will be used as a protective measure 0for the general public under off-site plans, then the ORO should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI as a protective measure for the general public to supplement shelter and evacuation., This decision should be based on the ORO's plan and/or procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established PAG for KI administration.

The KI decision-making process should involve close coordination with appropriate assessment and decision-making staff.

82 40

If more than one ORO is involved in decision-making, OROs should communicate and coordinate PADs with affected OROs. OROs should demonstrate the capability to communicate the contents of decisions to the affected jurisdictions.

All decision-making activities by ORO personnel must be performed based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent of Play: None.

Sub-element 2.c - Protective Action Decisions Consideration for the Protection of Special Populations INTENT This sub-element derives from"NUREG-0654; which provides that Offsite Response-Organizations (ORO) shouldhave thecapability to determine protective action recommendations, including evacuation;, sheltering and use of potassium iodide (KI), if applicable, for special population groups (for example;, hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, schools, licensed day care centers, mobility impaired individuals, and transportation dependent individuals). Focus is on those special population groups that are (or potentially will be) affected by a radiological release from a nuclear power plant.

Criterion 2-c,1: Protective action decisions are made, as appropriate, for special population groups.' (NUREG-0654, J.9, J.10.d,e)

EXTENT OF PLAY Usually, it is appropriate to-implement evacuation in areas where doses are projected to exceed the lower end of the range of PAGs, except for situations where there is a high-risk environment or where high-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or infirm) are involved. In these cases, examples of factors that should be considered are weather conditions, shelter availability, availability of transportation assets, 'riskof evacuation vs. risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary school evacuations. In situations were an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, the administration of KI should be considered by the OROs.

Applicable OROs should demonstrate the capability to alert and notify all public school systems/districts of emergency conditions that are expected to or may necessitate protective actions for students. Contacts with public schoolsystems/districts must be actual.

83

In accordance with plans and/or procedures, OROs and/or officials of pubic school systems/districts should demonstrate the capability to make prompt decisions on protective actions for students. Officials should demonstrate that the decision making process for protective actions considers (that is, either accepts automatically or gives heavy weight to) protective action recommendations made by ORO personnel, the ECL at which these recommendations are received, preplanned strategies for protective actions for that ECL, and the location of students at the time (for example, whether the students are still at home, en route to the school, or at the school).

All decision-making activities associated with protective actions,, including consideration of available resources, for speciaipopulation groups must be based onthe ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in theextent of play agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent of Play: None Sub-element 2.d. - Radiological Assessment and Decision-Making for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway This sub-element will not be evaluated duringthis exercise.

EVALUATION AREA 3

'Protective Action Implementation Sub-element 3.a - Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to provide for the following: distribution, use, collection, and processing of direct-reading dosimetry and permanent record dosimetry; the reading of direct-reading dosimetry by emergency Workers at appropriate frequencies; maintaining a -adiation dose record for each emergency worker; and establishing a decision chain or authorization procedure for emergency w6rkers to inicur fadiation exposures in excess of protective action guides, always applying the ALRAk (As LOW As i9 Reasonably'Achievable) pri'iciple as appropriate.

Criterion 3.a.l: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans and procedures.' Emergeicy Workers periodically'and at the end'of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. (NUREG-0654, K.3.a,b)

EXTENT OF PLA Y OROs should demonstrate the capability to provide appropriate direct-reading; and permanent record dosimetry, dosimeter chargers, and instructions on the use of dosimetry to emergency workers. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits (that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent) and maximum exposure limits (for those emergency workers involved in life saving activities) contained in the ORO's plans and procedures.

Each emergency worker should have the basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits as specified in the ORO's plan and/or procedures. Procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and to manage radiological exposure control should be demonstrated.

During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers should demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached. The.

emergency worker should report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated in the plans and procedures. OROs should demonstrate the actions described in the plan and/or procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, to authorize the worker to incur additional exposures or to take other actions. If scenario events do not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators should interview at least two emergency workers, to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in the event authorization is needed and at what exposure levels. Emergency workers may use any 85

available resources (for example, written procedures and/or co-workers) in providing responses.

Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission and adequate control of exposure can be effected for all members of the team by one dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers who are assigned to low exposure rate areas, for example, at reception centers, counting laboratories, emergency operations centers, and communications centers, may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored by-dosimeters strategically placed in:the.work areA. It should be noted that, even in these situations, each team member must'still have their. own permanent record dosimetry. Individuals without specific radiological response missions,.

such as farmers for animal 'care, essential utility service personnel, or other members of the public who must re-enter an evacuated areafollowing or during the plume passage, Should be limited.to the lowest radiological exposure commensuratewith completing: theirmissions.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and.procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the, extent of play agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent of Play: .

Radiologicalbriefings will be providedto address exposure limits andprocedures,to replace those approachinglimits and how permission to exceed limits is obtainedfrom the municipality and county. Emergency workers will also be briefed on when to take KI andon whose authority.

EVALUATION AREA 4 Field Measurement And Analysis Sub-element 4.a - Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to deploy field teams with the equipment, methods, and expertise necessary to determine the location of airborne radiation and particulate deposition on the ground from an airborne plume., ýIn addition, NUREG-0654 indicates that OROs should have the capability to use field teams within the plume emergency planning zone to measure airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases and to measure radioactiye particulate material in the airborne plume. In the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant, the possible release of radioactive material may pose a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although accident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties. During an accident, it is important to collect field radiological data in order to help characterize any radiological release. Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.

Criterion 4.a.l: The field teams are equipped to perform field measurements of direct radiation exposure (cloud and ground shine) and to sample airborne radioiodine and particulates. (NUREG-0654, H.10; 1.7, 8, 9).

EXTENT OF PLAY Field teams should be equipped with all instrumentation and supplies necessary to accomplish their mission. This should include instruments capable of measuring gamma exposure rates and detecting the presence of beta radiation. These instruments should be capable of measuring a range of activity and exposure,. including radiological protection/exposure control of team members and detection of activity on the air sample collection media, consistent with the intended use of the instrument and the ORO's plans and procedures. An appropriate radioactive check source should be used to verify proper operational response for each low range radiation measurement instrument (less than 1 R/hr) and for high range instruments when available. If a source is not available for a high range instrument, a procedure should exist to operationally test the instrument before entering an area where only a high range instrument can make useful readings.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

.brief teams on predicted plume location and direction, travel speed, and exposure control procedures before deployment.

Field measurements are needed to help characterize the release and to support the adequacy of implemented protective actions or to be a factor: in modifying protective actions. Teams should be directed to take measurements in such tlocations, at such times to provide.

information-sufficient to characterize the plume and.impacts.,'

If the responsibility to obtain peak measurementý in the plume has beenlaccepftd by licensee field monitoring teams, with concurrence from OROs, there is no requirement for these measurements to be repeated by State and local monitoring teams. If the licensee teams do not obtain peak measurements in the, plume, it is the ORO's decision as to whether peak measurements are necessary to sufficiently cfiarat&erize the`piume.' The sharing and coordination of plume measurement information ami"ng all field teams (lioehsee,'federal, and ORO ) is essential. Coordination concerning ttafisfer of samples, including a: chain-of-custody form, to a radiological laboratory should be demonstrated.

OROs should use Federal resources as identified in'the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), and other resources (for example, compacts, utility, etc), if available.

Expected demonstration should include 1/3 of the monitoring teams/portal monitors required to monitor 20% of the population allocated to the facility within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Before using monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) should demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation.

Staff responsible for the radiological monitoring of evacuees should demonstrate the capability to attain and sustain a monitoring productivity rate per hour needed to monitor the 20% emergency planning zone (EPZ) population planning base within about 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. This monitoring productivity rate per hour is the number of evacuees that can be monitored per hour by the total complement of monitors using an appropriate monitoring procedure. A minimum of six individuals per monitoring station should be monitored, using equipment and procedures specified in the plan and/or procedures, to allow demonstration of monitoring, decontamination, and registration capabilities. The monitoring sequences for the first six simulated evacuees per monitoring team will betimed by the evaluators in order to determine whether the twelve-hour requirement can be meet. Monitoring of emergency workers does not have to meet the twelve-hour requirement. However, appropriate monitoring procedures should be demonstrated for a minimum of two emergency workers.

Decontamination of evacuees/emergency workers may be simulated and conducted by interview. The availability of provisions for separately showering shouldbe demonstrated or explained. The staff should demonstrate provisions for limiting the spread of contamination.

Provisions could include floor coverings, signs and appropriate means (for example, partitions, 103

0 roped-off areas) to separate clean from potentially contaminated areas. Provisions should also exist to separate contaminated and uncontaminated individuals, provide changes of clothing for individuals whose clothing is contaminated, and store contaminated clothing and personal belongings to prevent further contamination of evacuees or facilities. In addition, for any individual found to be contaminated, procedures should be discussed concerning the handling of potential contamination of vehicles and personal belongings.

Monitoring personnel should explain the use of action levels for determining the need .for decontamination. They should also explain the procedures for referring evacuees who cannot be adequately decontaminated for assessment and follow up in accordance with the ORO's plans and procedures. Contamination of the individual will be determined by controller inject and not simulated with any low-level radiation source.

The capability to register individuals upon completion of the monitoring and' decontamination activities should be demonstrated: The registration activities demonstrated should include the establishment of a iegistrationrecord for each individual, consisting of the individual's name, address, results of monitoring,- andtime of'decontamiriation, if any; or as otherwise designated in the plan. Audio recorders, camcorders, or written records are all acceptable means for registration ... . ', . .

All activities associated with this criterion must'be based'on the ORO's plans and',

procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

Long runs ofplastic covered with paper will not be demonstrated,but the materialsshall be available and explained Positioningof afire apparatuson-site may be simulated iotherwise required Sub-element 6.b - Monitoring and Decontamination of Emergency Worker Equipment

'INTENT 105

This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of emergency worker equipment, including vehicles.

Criterion 6.b.l: The facility/ORO has adequate procedures and resources for the accomplishment of monitoring and decontamination of emergency worker equipment, including vehicles. (NUREG-0654, K.5.b)

EXTENT OF PLAY The monitoring staff should demonstrate the capability to monitor equipment, including vehicles, forcontamination in accordance with the Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) plans and procedures. "Specific attentiion should.be given, to equipment, including vehicles, that was in contact with individuals found to be co'ntaninated. The monitoring staff should demonstrate the capability to,make decisions on th6 need fOr decohtamination of equipment, including vehicles, based on guidance levels and procedures statd in the plan and/or procedures. ., .. .

The area to be used for monitoring and decontamination should be set up as it w6uldbe in an actual emergency, with all route markings, instrumentation, record keeping and contamination control measures in place. Monitoring procedures should be demonstrated for a minimum of one vehicle.. it is generally not necessary to monitor the entire surface of vehicles. However, ihe 'capability to monitor areas s'uch as radiator~grills, bumpIers, wheeI wells, tires, and door handles should be demonstrated. Interior surfaces of vefiicles that were in contact with individuals found to be contaminated should also be checked.

Decontamination. capabilities, and provisions for vehicles and equipment'that cannot be decontaminated, may be simulated and conducted by intelriew.

All activities associated with this criterion must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency,ýunless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extentof play agreement.

  • PEMA NegotiatedExtent of Play:

Emergency worker stationpersonnel will consist of a minimum of one monitor and one recorderand sufficient personnel to demonstrate monitoring of at least ohe vehicle.

Schematics of these monitoring/decbntaminationstations will be available to show organizationandspace management. The evaluatorwill request that vehicle decontaminationproceduresbe explained after the vehicle (with simulated contamination) has been monitored. One radiologicalsurvey meter, will be issued-to each vehicle monitoring/decontaminationteam. One vehicleand/orpiece of equipment will not be able to be decontaminated. Simulated radiationcontamination data will be included in the scenario package, and injected by a controller. Set-up of thefacility will be performed as closely as possible to thatfor an actualemergency with all route markings in place.

106 61

Decontaminationcapabilities,andprovisionsfor vehicles and equipment that cannot be decontaminated,will be simulatedand conducted by interview. Water will NOT be used.

Sub-element 6.c - Temporary Care of Evacuees, INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) demonstrate the capability to establish relocation centers in host areas.

The American Red Cross (ARC) normally provides congregate care in support of OROs under existing letters of agreement.

Criterion 6c.:' Managers o6f.ongiregate carefacilities demonstrate that the centers-haVe iesources to provide services and accommodations consistent with American Red Cross planning guidelines. (Found in MASS CARE -

Preparedness Operatiolns, ARC 3031) Managers demonstrate the procedures to assure that evacuees have beenmonitored fo'rcontamination and have been decontaminated as appropriate before entering congregate care facilities.

(NUREG-0654, J.10.h, J.12)

EXTENT OF PLAY Underfthis criterion,1 demonstration of congregate card centers may be conducted out of sequence with-the exercise scenario. The evaluator should conduct a walk-through of the center to defermine, through observation and inquiries, that the services and accommodations are consistent with ARC 3031. In this simutioh, it is not necessary to'set up operations as they would be in an actual emergency. Alter-nativelly, capabilities 'may be demonstrated by setting up stations for various services and providing those services to simulated evacuees. Given the substantial differences between demonstration and simulation of thisý objective, exercise demonstration expectations should be clearly specified in extent-of-play agreements.

Congregate care,.staff should also dcemonstrate the capability to ensure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination, have been decontaminated as appropriate,.and have been registered before entering the facility. This capability may be determined through an interview process.

If operations at the center are demonstrated, material that would be difficult or expensive to transport (for example, cots, blankets, sundries, and large-scale food supplies) need not be physically available at,the facility (facilities). However,, availability of such items should be verified by providing the evaluator a list of sources with locations and estimates of quantities.

All activities associated.with this criterion must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

108 40

Criterion 6.d.1: The facility/ORO has the appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals. (NUREG-0654, F.2; H.10; K.5, a, b; L.1,4)

EXTENT OF PLAY Monitoring, decontamination, and contamination control efforts will not delay urgent medical care for the victim.

Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) should demonstrate the capability to transport contaminated injured individuals to medical facilities. An ambulance should be used for the response to the-victim. However, to avoid taking an ambulance out of service for an extended~time, any vehicle (e.g., car, truck,, or van) may be utilized to transport.the victim to the medical facility.. Normal communications, between the ambulance/dispatcher and the receiving medical facility should be demonstrated.; If a substitute vehicle is used for transport .to the medical facility; this communication must occur, prior to releasing the ambulance from the drill. This communication would include reporting radiation-monitoring results, if available .Additionally, the ambulance crew should demonstrate, by interview, knowledge of where the ambulance and crew-would be monitored and decontaminated,z if required, or whom to contact for such information.

Monitoring of the Victim may be performed prior to transport, done enroute, or deferred to the medical facility. Prior to using a monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) should demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation. All monitoring activities should be~cornpleted, as they would be in an actual emergency.

Appropriate contamination control measures should be demonstrated prior-to and during transport and at the receiving medical facility.

The medical facility should demonstrate the capability to activate and set up a radiological emergency area for treatment. Equipment and supplies should be available for the treatment of contaminated injured individuals.

The medical facility should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination of the individual, to follow appropriate decontamination procedures, and to maintain records of all survey measurements and samples taken. All procedures for the collection and analysis of samples and the decontamination of the individual should be demonstrated or described to the evaluator.

All activities associated with this criterion must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

7.. General Concepts: An emergency plan is drafted to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency. Not everything in the emergency plan may be applicable for a given scenario. The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders-should not be so tied to a plan' that they cannot take actions that ýare more- protective of the public. Therefore, if, by not following, the.-plan,'the responders protect the' public equally as well as providedin -the plan, -it should be noted for possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident. Furthermore, if, by following the pian there is a failure to protect the public health and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can! be modified and the appropriate negative assessment applied:-

-8. Re-demonstrations: .During the.,out-of-sequence demonstrations on during the weekof May 14, ,2008; or the.Plumeý Exercise on June 24, 2008, any activity that is not satisfactorily demonstrated may be re-demonstrated by the participants during the exercise provided it does not negatively interfere with the exercise. Refresher training can be provided by the players,' observers, and/or' controllers. Re-demonstrations,-will be, negotiated between' the players, observers, controllers;'evaluators8 and RACCha'ir, or designee. It is permissible to

,extend the evaluation time to .accommodate. the re-demonstration.

Activities corrected,from a re-demonstration will be so noted.
